Correct Answers:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
B B E B C B E D C E

Explanations:

1. 6575 ÷ 74.95 + √630 × 14.83 = ?

88 + 25 × 15 ≈ ?

? = 463

Hence, option B is correct.

2. √( ) ( )= ?

? ≈ √( ) ( )

?=√

?= √

? = 17

Hence, option D is correct.

3. ? ≈ 198 × 126 ÷ 77 + 178 – 295

? = 198 × 126 × (1/77) +178 – 295

? = 324 + 178 – 295

? = 207

Hence, option E is correct.

4. 0.5% of 4789.823 + 0.7% of 330.732 = ?

4790 331
or, ? ≈ + × (0.7) ≈ 24 + 2 = 26
200 100

Hence, option B is correct.

5. (26.912)2 × 6.001 ÷ 6.12 + (7.03)3 + 40.02 = ? – 210.75
1
Or, (27)2 × 6 × + (7)3 + 40 ≈ ? – 211
6
or, ? ≈ 729 + 343 + 40 + 211 = 1323
Hence, option C is correct.

6. 54.997 × 47.993 – ? % of 8001.009 = (11.899)3 + 67.896 × 4.003

?
55 × 48 – × 8000 ≈ (12)3 + 68 × 4
100
?
× 8000 = 2640 – 1728 – 272
100
640 × 100
?= =8
8000
Hence, option B is correct.

7.
(354.08 + ?)
+ 124.89 % of 64.03 – (361.06)1/2 = (1000000.11)1/3
31.98

354 + ? 125
+ × 64 – (361)1/2 ≈ (1000000)1/3
32 100

354 + ?
= 100 + 19 – 80
32
(354 + ?) = 39 × 32
? = 1248 – 354 = 894
Hence, option E is correct.

8.
(4589.79)
+ (24.89)2 – 36.89 % of 4798.98 + 104.87 = (21.86)2
?
4590 37 × 4800
+ (25)2 – + 105 = (22)2
? 100
4590
+ 625 – 1776 + 105 = 484
?
4590
= (484 + 1776 – 730)
?
4590
?= =3
1530
Hence, option D is correct.
9. 44.03 × 24.98 + 48.03 × 14.99 + ? = 32.07 % of 6000.08

32
44 × 25 + 48 × 15 + ? = of 6000
100

1100 + 720 + ? = 1920

? = 1920 – 1820 = 100

Hence, option C is correct.

10. ? % of 699.98 + (20.91)2 – (3843.95)1/2 = (17.93)3

?
× 700 + (21)2 – (3844)1/2 = (18)3
100

?
× 700 + 441 – 62 = 5832
100

?
× 700 = 5832 – 441 + 62
100

5453
?= = 779
7

Hence, option E is correct.
